June 23, India: Shaking up some delicious discoveries, the World Class Cocktail Festival is all set to take place in Gurugram at the A Dot Convention on the 1st and 2nd of July, 2023. The 2-Day festival brings together the Top 15 Bartenders from across India along with global guests, including Australia’s best bar, Maybe Sammy. The festival combines the finest cocktails and experiences that are set to reshape the way we perceive mixology and bartending, as well as the culture around it. Stand witness to the skills and artistry of bartending—from classic favourites to mind-bending innovations, watch the country’s top bartenders turn spirits into the finest celebratory cocktails as they compete for the World Class title. On the backs of Diageo’s finest spirits, including Don Julio, Tanqueray, The Singleton, and Johnnie Walker, the talented mixologists will showcase their skills, creativity, and expertise in a thrilling competition. The ultimate prize at stake is the opportunity to represent India at the Global Finals in Sao Paolo and possibly be crowned the winner of World Class 2023.

In addition to a stirring competition, the festival offers a range of immersive experiences, including  a pop-up by Australia’s best bar, Maybe Sammy, offering a glimpse into global trends and innovations in cocktail-making. Guests can also learn the art of making World Class Cocktails at home as part of workshops planned  in specific zones at the venue.

The festival will also host several experiential zones to cater to diverse palates and preferences. The brand-led zones will be seen combining the art of mixology with an immersion into cocktail-trends, such as the Johnnie Walker Highball Zone which will serve up a symphony of flavour in the form of highballs crafted by India’s Top 15 Bartenders. The House of Delicious Discoveries will invite festival-goers to explore the world of gourmet cocktails and food pairings. Weaving the world of delicious cocktails into everyday experiences, the Magnificent Moments Zone will invite consumers to sip on Tiny Ten, the signature Tanqueray No. TEN serve, which brings the citrusy heart of the spirit alive. All of this and more await cocktail enthusiasts on the 1st and 2nd of July, 2023.
